Orangebrush

This short shrub grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall and lives for around 10 years. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has numerous slender, wavy stems covered in fine, ridged, black with white speckled bark, and the wood inside is light brown.

The branches trail down to the ground that and are covered with large amounts of tiny, asymmetrical, leaves with rounded edges. The leaves themselves are found in peach and yellow varieties, tough and fuzzy.

In late summer it produces thousands of medium-sized, orange flowers with perforated petals. They are very delicate and have an overpowering scent that smells like paint.
